£125


Not cheap when you look at it first off but you will struggle to find anything for under £150 that offers the same level of light and 12 hours of battery life

Not changed that much tbh


Got the halfords steed because I used to work there and quite like the geometry.

I have changed


Crank set (fsa ones snapped) to shimano hollowtec SLX ones

Brakes to hayes hfx disks

wheel set changed to hope pro 2's on DT swiss 4.1 rims

Forks to rock shock SID's

Other then that just wear and tear things


Want to start shaving weight soon but tbh it does everything I need so dont really need to change it.

For xc, one of the best tyres out there would be the specialized fast tracks

Some very nice bikes on here
I just have a standard '09 Specialized Hardrock Sport but it does me for getting about and the odd commute.
Doing the "Pedal For Scotland" Glasgow to Edinburgh charity cycle on it next weekend. Should be fun!
